Idleness.
There U too mnch idleness in this ooun?
r try. It is breeding vice and immorality.
It is filling oar jails with criminals. Crime
has been on the gradual increase for six
months. This oomes of idleness; and
idleness oomes in a great measuro of that
abominable idea that a white uiun cannot
be a gentleman and work. He mast get
- * money, for that is indispensable. But how?
That's it. Young men havo not the dis
position to work, and by patient economy
secure a beau for business operations.
They most hare it uow. This suggests
expedients. These lead to temptation,
boo temptation leads to orimo. Hence we
hare morders, horse tbells and breaches
of trust.
Why should a young man consider it
degrading or eren undignified to work ?
President Johnson purchased his present
Tdkidenoe in East Tennessee with the pro
oeeds of his labor as a tailor. One of the
^ wealthiost bankers in New York commenced
the world aa a gardener, selling to the
bttokster the products of his own labor.
Gen. Fat Cleburn, at one timo the head of
die Arkansas bar, subsequently the ruling
spirit of a powerful army, began lifo as a
day-laborer. Judge Reagan, Postmaster
General of the late Confederate States, was
once a woodehopper on the banks of the
Mississippi. The world is full of such examples.
But where can we point to a sue
eeesful man who spent his early youth in
hunting business whioh ho considered to
be more genteel than manual labor? Who
has over heard of a man succeeding who
pent his early manhood "waiting for something
to turn up ?"
Young man if you would suooeed, go to
vork. If you eanoot obtain a clerkship,
take something else. You had better be
tolling barrels, or plowing, or building
foaoe, or ehopping cord wood, or oarryiug
the hod, than doing nothing. Quit de?
pending upon your friends. Strike out
tor Yourself. Learn at once the greatest
of all lessons, that of self reliance. llave
a bead, a trill, a purpose of your own. Go
to work and watch your opportunity. The
soil upon which yon hare been reared
never refuses a competence to those who
are willing to dig. Then, if you can do
no better, dig. It will pay to dig Nor
ia there anything undignified or vulgar in
it It Is honorable if yen choose to make
it so. Then dig and watoh your opportunity.
But don t stand idlo and '%ait for
something to turn up."
A Quaker Woman's Sermon ?My
dear friends, there are three things that I
very much wonder at. The first is that
ohitdren should be so foolish as to throw

let it alone it would fall iteelf. The second
la, that men should be so foolish as to go to
war to kill each other. If let alone they
would die themselves. The third and Iku
thing I wonder at is, that young men
should be so unwise as to go after young
women.
; .Vv. it they would stop at homo the young
women would oome after thein.
Bcrks, going into oliuich on Sunday,
and finding it difficult to prooure a seat,
was kindly invited by a young lady into
her pew. The sermon being upon th.? terrors
of the law, and the preacher being
particularly severe in his denunciation of
sinners, the lady, who was very attentive,
became much agitated Burns, on poreeiving
it, wssie with his pencil on a
blank leaf of her Bible tho following;
Fair maid you need not lake the hint,
Nor idle teats pursue;
'Twos only sinners that he meant,
Not angels such ae yon."

to them too much significance :

they are good "levellersas witness this
speech of Horace Maynard, at Athens, Tenn.,
on the 21st ultimo :
"And I tell you, gentlemen, that in a short
time all this complaint about negro equality
will be done away with. Some months since
it was said that the negro would not be suffered
to testify in your courts?that his oath
would not be granted him. But how stands
t ie matter already t He is not only permitted
to testify in your courts with impunity, but
there is every evidence that he will soon be on
a social equality with the white tnau in your
State. Yes, gentlemen, inwt short time he will
marry and intermarry in your families. It is
a little objectionable to-day but you will soon
get over this, and he persecuted negro will be
welcome in your parlors This will be the result
of the political and social changes of the
next few months.
A Yankee General Ueati.n bt a Neobo.?
A correspondent of the Metropolitan Record,
writing from Lake Providenoe. L%., says :
iu isuquenn county, ansa , uencral Andrews,
of Massachusetts, has been endeavoring to run
a plantation. A few days since one of the
descendants of Main, in the employ of General
Andrews, was exercising bis family prerogative
by a uninisteriog. according to the law
and cuBtoins of old puritan Massachusetts, a
severe lesson of corporeal punishment upon
one of his own children. The General, coming
along, ordored him to desist, which Sambo re"
fused to do, asserting at once the privilege
guaranteed by the Civil Rights Bill. Hereupon
the General undertook to coerco the arrogant
darkey, who on the other hand, "couldn't
see it." A skirmish ensued, and alas, our gallant
General was most wofully used up, retreating
in a demoralized condition, dismayed
nud disgusted with free niggers, Southern
plantations and all. lie told some of the momhers
that he had expended thirty thousaud
dollars in starting the cotton pltniing adventure,
but wouid give it up. He said he had
fought four years to make the nigger free, and
was now willing to fight the remainder of his
life lime to put them back into sla/ery again.
????
The Central Pacific Road.?The Central
Pacific Railroad ef California is now completed
a distance of eighty miles .east of Sacramento,
and in a few weeks the whistle of the
locomotive will be heard in the Sierra Nevada.
When they have once crossed this range of
mountains there will be a rood similar to that
on the Platte, a level river bottom, the Ham
boldt. and until they reach the western range
of the Rocky Mountains there will be no serious
difficulties to overcome, and if the energy
is displayed, until the completion oftbis gigantic
and monstrous enterprise, that there is at
present, seven years will complete the greatest
work in the world There is at present upward
of eighteen hundred miles of railrcad
from Boston to Mauhnttan, Harass; and when
the Pacific is completed, there will be one
(almost) continuous route upward of 3.000
miles in leogili. American genius. American
industry, American perseverance, can accomplish
auylhing. There is nothing that these
combined have over succumbed to except perpetual
motion, and that is to he discovered iu
this gicut country, if there is such a thing.

A German in Savanna , arrested for some
offense, pleaded in defense "kait nheieduck
ous denzweiteu icustcr georgessen." The judge
not being able to see it iu that light, fined him
five dollnrs.
Brick Posieroy says that is the most wickedest
and heart leases! judge we havo read of

of the laud wc live in. He ought to be
placed iu "durance vile," corked up in a frecdniau's
bureau for ninety days, then compelled
to listen to Browclow's innocent prattle ninety
more; and finally have Ben, the cock-eyed
spoon pilferer, look pleasant at him for ninety
more. Oh, most injured German, we cominisseratc
thy wrongs over muchly!
A few weeks after a late marriage, the husband
had some peculiar thoughts when putting

He deliberately responded, "I'vo put on my
last clean shirt, and I'm going to wash one for
myself."
"Very well," replied Mrs. Easy, **you had
better wash one fo me, too!"
Emigration to Lidkria.?The National Intelligencer
of the 24th instaut, says: "We
understand that the American Colonization Society
has purchased the ship Golcondo, l.Oltl
tons, and intend to At her up to carry cmi
grant to Liberia. She is expected to sail
from Charleston, South Carolina, on the 1st
of November. Upwards of a thousand freedmen
have applied to the Society for a passage
this fall Many others arc getting ready to
embark next spring."
The < incinnati Gnzettc says that at a recent
rat hunt >n Pickaway county 15,071 rats were
killed, and announces a grand pic nic to take
place at (.ircleville, Ohio, at whioh three premiums
will be given to the township producing
the greatest number of tails of rats slain
in each township of Pickaway county. The
premiums amount respectively to $500. $800
and $2,00, aud will be distributed, of oourse,
pro rata.
Where the Figiitixo Men Stand.?The
Indianapolis Herald says that the fighting
Generals oi the war are almost invariably for
Johnson nnd a restored Union, while .lie "dead
beats" iuvariably sustain Congress. On the
one side we have Grant, Sherman, Farrago),
IloHeiior uis, Kosseau, and a host of other gallant
and meritorious officers, while on the
other are arrayed Hutler, Banks, Neal Dow
ind such. It is a contest of patriotism,against
plunder and pianos.
